Anaergia Selected to Design, Build and Operate Organic Waste-to-Renewable Energy Project in San Diego County
Anaergia today announced it has been selected as the Energy Recovery Contractor for a new system that will produce renewable power from wastewater sludge at the East County Advanced Water Purification (East County AWP) facility now under construction in Santee, California. Anaergia anticipates the Energy Recovery project will also eventually digest food waste along with the wastewater sludge. Anaergia is expected to design and build the waste-to-renewable energy facility and provide long-term operations and maintenance after commissioning.
The East County AWP facility is part of an Advanced Water Purification Program that is a partnership among Padre Dam Municipal Water District, the City of El Cajon, the County of San Diego, and Helix Water District. The Program is expected to produce up to 11.5 million gallons per day of new local drinking water, enough to supply about 50,000 households for a year.
